Demonstrators protesting shutdown arrested outside McConnell's office
By Justin Wise - 01/23/19 05:09 PM EST

A group of demonstrators were arrested Wednesday after holding a sit-in outside an office for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to protest the partial government shutdown.

Video posted on social media showed several people sitting and repeatedly chanting "stop the shutdown" and "we need a paycheck" outside McConnell's office in the Russell Senate Office Building.

The protestors were later shown being zip-tied and detained by Capitol Police officers. Chants of "we want to work" and "where is Mitch" could be heard as individuals were escorted out of the building.
